In this paper, we consider variants of the traveling salesman problem with precedence constraints. We characterize hard input instances for Christofides' algorithm and Hoogeve...

In multi-criteria optimization, several objective functions are to be optimized. Since the different objective functions are usually in conflict with each other, one cannot conside...
We present two polynomial-time approximation algorithms for the metric case of the maximum traveling salesman problem. One of them is for directed graphs and its approximation rat...
We consider labeled Traveling Salesman Problems, defined upon a complete graph of n vertices with colored edges. The objective is to find a tour of maximum or minimum number of co...
